Benefits of QTRA

QTRA is a probabilistic tree risk assessment system that:

moves away from predictive assessment (we do not need to state that a tree is either safe or unsafe or that it will not fail).

provides protection for both the tree inspector and manager

reduces the need for hazard remediation particularly in low use areas

conforms to standards accepted (in the UK) as best practice in the management of industrial and workplace risk and provides:

a clear structure within which to assess tree safety

a framework within which trees can be assessed at all levels of detail, from an overview of a municipality to the detailed appraisal of a single tree

a numerical basis for comparative risk assessment of trees

a numerical basis for the application of a thresholds of tolerable and acceptable risks
